The Unscheduled CEO is a podcast hosted by Jonathan Courtney, a hairy Irish businessman. It is a rambling, incoherent monologue with no interviews, production value, or editing. The host talks about nothing in particular for about an hour each episode. The podcast is a parody of business podcasts like The Diary Of A CEO.
